- To force the Iraqi military from Kuwait
This question comes from the American History section of the 2025 Civics Test. USCIS includes it to confirm applicants know the founding events and figures behind U.S. citizenship, not just civics theory. The accepted answer, "To force the Iraqi military from Kuwait", is worth memorizing exactly since dates and names are graded strictly in the interview.
This is question 114 of the 2025 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
